Mutatis was a game in development at Psygnosis (before they were bough by Sony and became SCE Studio Liverpool) for the original Playstation. Sadly we dont have any informations about its gameplay or story background. The project was later cancelled for unknown reasons and only some artworks remain.

It seems that Mutatis had some connection with Anathor, another cancelled PSX game by Psygnosis (could they have been the same project under different names?).

Thanks to Hey Hey for the contribution!

Cyber Clash is a cancelled action game that was in development by Crystal Dynamics for the 3DO. We would have play the role of a cyberspace hacker, to combat into virtual arenas with a tank-alike vehicles, in first person view. A 2 players coop mode was planned too and every vehicle available was able to morph into 2 different forms, with unique close and long-range weapons. A video preview of the game was even added in the “Sample This!” 3DO CD Demo, but in the end Cyber Clash was never released for unknown reasons.

Thanks to Celine for the contribution! Scans from EGM #64 and GamePro #67.

The Executives was an action game in development in 2003 for the Playstation 2 by The Collective studios, that was going to be published by Midway. The game was never officially announced and it was cancelled during the early stages of development. Only some screenshots and concept arts remains from the project

It’s interesting to note that in some of these concepts, the title of the game was changed to “Career Criminal”. A title which was also used for an internally developed but also cancelled Midway game (see “Career Criminal”, a cancelled Xbox 360 / PS3 game). That project was started soon after the efforts of The Collective were cancelled.

P.I.D. [PC/Amiga – Unreleased]

P.I.D. (Private Investigator Dollarally) was a top-down driving/adventure game created by Finnish developers Terramarque (now known as Housemarque), set for release on the PC in December 1994. It may also have been intended for release on the Amiga, considering the developer’s history of developing for the system. For unknown reasons, the game was cancelled.

The single screenshot of the game in its preview in Games World Issue 6 shows that the game used a similar visual style to the early Grand Theft Auto games, and the description suggests that the open-ended structure was similar too; players assumed the role of a private investigator trying to survive and make money while avoiding the police in the fictional land of Muhmulandia.
